After hearing this, Qin Wan immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu and said:
"Aunts, please go and have dinner first! I have to go to Captain Huo's house to do some things and will be back soon."
Aunt Zhang quickly responded, "Then let's get the kids ready first. Come back soon, we'll be waiting for you to have dinner together!"
Qin Wan waved his hand and replied with a smile:
"Don't wait for me, aunts. This trip might take some time, so eat it while it's hot. Otherwise, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."
After saying this, Qin Wan stood up without hesitation and walked straight towards Captain Huo's house.
After a while, Qin Wan arrived at Captain Huo's house.
She first straightened her clothes, then raised her hand and knocked on the door gently.
Only footsteps were heard from inside the house, and then the door was slowly opened. Standing at the door was Captain Huo's wife Luo Sulan.
As soon as Luo Sulan saw Qin Wan outside the door, a friendly and warm smile instantly bloomed on her face. She quickly let Qin Wan into the house and asked with concern:
"Oh my, Xiao Qin, why are you here in the middle of the day? Is the child home alone?"
Qin Wan walked into the room, nodded politely, and replied:
"Director Luo, I'm so sorry to bother you. I came here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you and Captain Huo."
Luo Sulan pulled Qin Wan to sit on the sofa, staring at her closely, and asked curiously, "Oh? What's the matter? You look so anxious."
So, Qin Wan took a deep breath and began to describe in detail what had just happened. After she finished speaking, she added:
"Director Luo, I'm not personally afraid of getting into trouble. I'm just worried that if situations like today become commonplace, it will affect the overall atmosphere here, and future work might not go as smoothly."
Director Luo Sulan took it seriously when he heard it and said seriously:
"Xiao Qin, you're right. If this trend starts, it will be like a fire in the backyard. The morale of the army will be in turmoil. Once the morale of the army is in turmoil, no one will dare to do anything boldly.
It would be fine if I didn't know about this, but now that I know, as soon as my husband, Mr. Huo, comes back, I'll definitely tell him that we must seize the moment to put a stop to this evil trend."
After Qin Wan reported the problem, she hurried back, but what she reported attracted the attention of Director Luo Sulan.
As the director of the Women's Federation, she took this matter very seriously. After Qin Wan left, Luo Sulan waited until Captain Huo returned home and briefly explained the situation.
"This isn't a good thing. If reporting becomes a common practice in the military, the morale of the troops will be shaken."
Hearing this, Captain Huo's expression grew serious. He knew that as a captain, he not only had to defend the country, but also had to protect the well-being of every soldier's family.
Captain Huo pondered for a moment, then said solemnly to his wife Luo Sulan:
"Director Luo, if you're reporting someone just because they eat meat, this is a matter that needs to be taken seriously. We need to educate military families and make them understand that stability and unity are more important than anything else. Reporting without any reason not only harms the relationship, but it could also affect the soldiers' work on the front lines, which is not good for anyone. This matter can't be allowed to develop unchecked; it needs to be handled properly."
When Luo Sulan heard her man address her as "Director" in such a serious manner, she instantly understood the deep meaning behind Captain Huo's move and became serious involuntarily.
Because she knew very well that at this extremely sensitive and critical moment, even a trivial matter would very likely grow bigger like a snowball and eventually have an immeasurable impact on the entire situation.
Luo Sulan's expression also became serious, and he responded solemnly:
"Please rest assured, Captain Huo!
I will personally handle this matter properly, and I guarantee that I will be able to teach everyone a good lesson, so that everyone can deeply understand that the so-called true unity is not limited to superficial peace or simple mutual tolerance, but must be based on deep-rooted mutual understanding and unreserved mutual support.
We absolutely cannot allow such a vile situation of mutual suspicion and denunciation to occur!"
The next morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth. The Women's Federation carefully prepared and successfully held a unique and refreshing symposium.
This symposium specially invited many military families, including Qin Wan, to participate.
At the beginning of the meeting, Luo Sulan took the lead in emphasizing the urgency and severity of the current situation, which made everyone present involuntarily tense.
Then, she paused for a moment, then changed her tone and continued speaking in a gentle yet powerful tone:
"My dear sisters, each of us is actually the most solid and reliable rear support force for those brave and fearless soldiers!
At this moment, they are fighting bravely and fearlessly on the smoke-filled battlefield ahead, with only one goal - to protect this beautiful home where we live together.
"Then, accordingly, the responsibility we shoulder becomes even more important! We must firmly guard this warm family home and not create any unnecessary trouble or chaos for those bravely fighting on the front lines!"
Then she talked about eating meat. She said:
“Eating meat is not a big deal. Every family has different circumstances. If you have the means, you can eat more. If you don’t, you can eat less.
For example, the family of our Deputy Chief of Staff, Lu Yu, often eats meat because they have the means. Don't assume that only the Deputy Chief of Staff has a salary.
In fact, Comrade Xiao Qin also receives a state subsidy and has a salary, and it is a high salary, more than 100 yuan per month.
She has a high income and can afford to buy meat, so she can buy meat. She doesn't steal or rob, so what is there to report?
Anyone who can have family members join the army and live in our family compound has absolutely reliable ideological qualities.
If a minor matter is blown out of proportion and the harmony between the military and civilians is destroyed, not only will everyone disagree, but even our troops will resolutely not agree."
Qin Wan was in the crowd, listening to Sister Li's words, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She knew that the efforts of Captain Huo and the Women's Federation were not only for her, but also to maintain the peace and harmony of this military compound.
After the symposium, the wave of reporting gradually subsided and the relationship between neighbors also quietly changed.
On this day, Qin Wan was listening to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu telling stories when he suddenly heard Big Head Grandma speaking in a loud voice.
